I'm pondering the problem that our relentless "STEM, STEM, STEM!!!" educational drumbeat has created a new class of engineers who can solve any technical problem but also can't explain why Naziism is bad.

As everyone already suspects from Hollywood movies, foreigners really do talk to each other in English when they don't think anyone else can hear them.

Some pretty incredible footage of Macron talking to Zelensky on the morning of the invasion, when the scale of the full-scale Russian assault on Ukraine was becoming clear. https://t.co/9ETzGScTmp
